About Zipstream

As a technologically advanced and locally owned communications company, Comporium felt strongly that it could support the future knowledge-based economy with ultra-fast Internet service. Named Zipstream, the service provides download and upload speeds of 1,000 megabits per second (mbps) – or one Gigabit – over Comporium’s fiber optic network. The vision is to make the communities that Comporium serves a recognized hub for recruiting, launching, and growing high-impact technology businesses. Further, Comporium’s residential customers in fiber neighborhoods will also have the opportunity to experience the “digital lifestyle” provided by the advantages of Zipstream.

So, what exactly can you do with a Gig?

Stream—without buffering—at least 5 high-definition videos (1080p) at the same time and still have enough bandwidth to email and surf the web.

Transfer data over the Internet faster than you can write data to a thumb drive.

Download data as fast as many computers can save the data to a hard drive.

Reliable back-up is crucial. TIMELY back-up is even more crucial. Backing up to the cloud will allow you to be able to sleep easier at night knowing that your nightly backup isn’t stalled out.
